As a result, Argentina will take on Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. Elsewhere, France face Morocco, Spain play Belgium and England are up against Norway.Fans claim foul play - Select supporters were quick to claim that the tournament is rigged in favour of protecting one of football's most prized assets in Messi, following a late comeback from his nation over Egypt. Leading 1-0 at the time, Mostafa Ziko looked to have doubled the Pharaohs' lead early in the second-half, only for VAR to overrule the goal for a foul on Lisandro Martinez which some labelled a 'disgrace'. While Ziko eventually got a second 67 minutes in, a late Argentina rally saw the South American's run out 3-2 winners.Ziko lambasts referee - Ziko also claimed that match was rigged in the aftermath, hitting out at referee Francois Letexier. He said: "It was a rigged game. It wasn’t our fault. That referee...it seems like this match was rigged. We were winning 2-0, and he kept coming at us. Congratulations to Argentina on another World Cup, it seems."Egypt head coach's anti-racism gesture - A number of Egypt's coaching staff were shown yellow cards late into the nation's clash with Argentina, with one even being sent off entirely for claiming that match was rigged. Amid the chaos, Hossam Hassan appeared to form an 'X' gesture with his arms in front of Letexier, with the French official seemingly paying no attention. The gesture is a symbol used to report racist abuse, although it is unclear as to whether Hassan was making it for that reason.FIFA launch investigation - World football has launched an investigation into alleged racist abuse of YouTube star and Twitch streamer, IShowSpeed, following Argentina's win over Cape Verde on July 3. The 21-year-old was spotted on stream getting into an altercation with an Argentina fan after taunting Messi, before he was seemingly hit with racist abuse in Spanish. FIFA is investigating matters as a result.UEFA accused of hypocrisy - FIFA has hit back at UEFA for condemning their decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's one-match ban - a move which allowed the USA striker to play against Belgium on Tuesday. UEFA accused FIFA of crossing "a red line," through the decision, with world football citing how numerous UEFA-affiliated member associations have overturned red cards without issue in the past.Jordan Henderson gives update - Jordan Henderson will miss the rest of the World Cup following a freak accident in England's celebrations after beating Mexico at the Estadio Azteca on Monday. However, he has since shared an update with fans. Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "A night to remember that's for sure! What an incredible performance against all the different challenges. So proud to be a part of this special team [emojis].
